Gimel ג

It is the third, which pierces the universe. It is decision and resource. It is free will.

It is a gimlet, it is a man in motion, it is a man planted that he might move. Whatever God has given to us, it is what we do with it, and so everything waits for choice.

For with gimel is an end to magic, and its beginning. It is the ability to set free and give, or to force the gate; it is the Hanged Man in the moment of his change.

I thought of a tree.

Neil Gaiman in 'American Gods': 'It seemed to him that the tree reached from hell to heaven, and that he had been hanging there forever.'

Later on: '...and he walked through the door into nothing with a strange fierce joy.'
